HRO has listed the new Icom IC-9100 price today and is now taking orders - $3,799.95!
That price is without the 1.2Ghz module ($649.95) and the D-Star option ($219.95). Based on the feature set, it's obvious that Icom is going after the operator who is serious about satellite work and also wants a good quality HF rig without having to purchase separate rigs. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts to this pricing.
